Chicken Cantonese Chow Mein
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
  • 1 pound chow mein noodles
  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 carrot, cut into matchstick-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
1
Combine water and rice wine vinegar in a bowl, whisking until the mixture is well blended. Add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar, stirring until the marinade is smooth. Mix in cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper to create a cohesive mixture.
2
Next, add chicken to the marinade and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3
In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the seasoning mixture is well combined.
4
Heat 3 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the noodles until they are golden brown and crispy, taking about 1 minute to achieve this.
5
Transfer the cooked noodles to a serving platter.
6
Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil into the skillet with the noodles; cook and stir the chicken over high heat until it is no longer pink in the center, taking about 5 minutes to achieve this. Add the seasoning mixture, celery, carrot, bean sprouts, onion, and green onion to the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, taking about 30 seconds to achieve this. Pour the chicken mixture over the noodles.
